5 Jazz players who could be on their A-Game for the NBA Cup

The team that wins the NBA Cup wins $500,000. While that doesn't sound like much, five particular Jazz players could stand to make such a big amount.

Taylor Hendricks

Like Sensabaugh, Hendricks is on his rookie deal, and the Jazz have a team option for his third year. After a not-so-stellar performance in the Summer League, the pressure will be on Hendricks to show some noticeable improvement. Especially knowing how high the Jazz drafted him.

Hendricks will make much more money and is much more likely to factor into the Jazz's future plans than Sensabaugh. So, making that much isn't as pressing for him to get that bonus. However, if he proves to not be capable of stepping up his game, he may not be in the NBA next year, which is why making a little more money might give him some incentive.
